Adrian Martin's paper, delivered as a Keynote address at the ATOM National Conference, focuses on the new narrative structures in popular film. Martin analyses the plot-driven and character driven-narratives, and those that are neither plot nor character driven. Martin discusses the films by van Sant, Tarr, and Kaufman and other filmmakers producing new and engaging forms of cinematic narratives.
